Welcome tired, frustrated, and perturbed mothers. Your patience seems to always be on a string, a string with both ends of it on fire, ever creeping towards exhaustion. Once the string is a burnt crisp, you're at your wits end and ready to pull your own hair out. Motherhood has been inflated to be a beautiful, fulfilling, and wonderful experience. It's our 'nature' and responsibility as women…apparently.

Though one may decide to fulfill their desire for procreation, it's by no means an obligation and doesn't mean you have to have children. All these notions about motherhood may or may not apply to you and your experience. Raising little children is like stepping into an existential, overwhelming, and psychotic episode from the sands of time and space, that leaves you wondering what life is all about. If you do find yourself a little bit disillusioned by the trajectory of motherhood, at least these memes should help get you through the turmoil.
